Free Speech sector site of Clock Tower The Free Speech area was chosen as the future site of the planned Clock Tower in a recent meeting of the Administrative Council. This site was chosen as opposed to erecting the fifty foot carillo;n tower behind the R-building. The administration felt tht the clock tower would serve as a gathering place for students, wherever its location, and that it would be preferable to have them gather in the Free Speech Area. In addition, the noise of the chimes will cause less of a disturbance to classrooms in session than the alternate site. Critics of the decision object to the use of either suggested sites, arguing that a clock-tower in the Free Speech Area will destroy it as such . It has been suggested that the tower could be placed in the parking lot, where it will disturb no one, and will not disrupt the function of the Free Speech Area.
Mark Twain will be revisited on stage at Mira Costa College Tuesday at 8 p.m. by actor Tom Noel. The Twain presentation is the last segment of the PalomarMira Costa Bicentennial Series.

Samples include: "Mark Twain was here, but I didn't see Tom Noel," "Made Mark Twain a real person," "He held the audience in his hand," "The versatility and expertise of Mr. Noel's performance enthralled his audience." Admission for this performance is $3 or $1.50 for ASG or gold card holders. Tickets may be purchased at either Palomar or Mira Costa prior to Tuesday, and are also available at the box office. Previous events in the Bicentennial Series included the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, September 26; "JFK: Dramatic Production," November 6; "The Open Eye: Robert Frost," January 24; "Fredd Wayne: Benjamin Franklin," February 18; "Muriel Bach: Women in History," March.31; and "William Windom: James Thurber."
